Securi-T USA Moisture-Absorbing Stoma Powder

Securi-T USA Stoma Powder allows for better adhesion of seals. Peristomal skin (skin around a stoma) is commonly subject to irritation and inflammation. This happens for many reasons usually associated with the skin coming into contact with digestive chemicals and enzymes. When this happens, it can cause the skin to become moist and weep. It can even cause broken skin and bleeding if severe enough. In both cases, this can cause wafers to lose adhesion earlier than intended, requiring replacement, and costing more than necessary to maintain pouch systems. Securi-T Stoma Powder helps by absorbing moisture on the skin and forming a protective gel. This prevents moisture from forming beneath your wafer and degrading it faster than normal. This product (Securi-T USA 201001) not only allows for better adhesion but also aids in skin healing. Using Securi-T Stoma Powder in conjunction with a subsequent product like Montreal Ostomy Skin Barrier Wipes can help prevent future irritation and overall better peristomal skin health.

Preventing Peristomal Skin Inflammation

According to an article published by Dovepress, the best treatments for complications associated with peristomal skin is prevention. The regular practices you can employ to maintain skin health will help you avoid any unnecessary discomfort and will help your pouches adhere better to your skin. The two main causes of irritation of the peristomal skin are leakage and skin stripping. Leakage is defined as contents of secretions coming into contact with the skin. Skin stripping occurs when the skin barrier is removed frequently or incorrectly, causing damage to the skin. For the best experience, make sure that the stoma site is properly cleaned when changing wafers or pouches. Also, ensure that the pouch system properly fits your stoma to prevent exposing your skin to secretions. If you've used a stoma powder for inflamed skin, stop using it after your skin is healed. Continuing use of stoma powder after your skin is healed can cause your wafer or adhesive strips to lose adhesion and cause a leak. If you experience skin irritation while using your pouch system, talk to your doctor so you can formulate a plan that best works for you.

How to Use

Before use, make sure your skin is properly clean and dry before applying. After this has been ensured, apply a layer of the powder directly to the raw skin. Dust off excess powder to prevent unintentional adhesion of the powder to your wafer or adhesive strip. Next, use a barrier wipe or product like Coloplast Brava Spray over the powder afterward. Lastly, allow the area to dry and apply your wafer and pouch system. Also, stop using once the skin is healed to prevent subsequent leaks.
